WRAPCOLS function

The WRAPCOLS function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro reshapes a vector (array of values) into columns with a specified number of items per column. This makes data more structured and easier to work with, especially when dealing with long lists that need to be organized into a tabular format." This is especially useful when working with long strings of text or when you want to keep your spreadsheet looking organized and easy to read.

Documentation

Wraps the text in a cell based on the number of columns specified.

Syntax

WRAPCOLS(vector, wrap_count, [pad_with])

Parameter	Description
`vector`	The vector to wrap.
`wrap_count`	The number of values per column. Must be greater than 0.
`[pad_with]`	Optional. A value to pad the last column when wrapping. If not specified, the last column remains unaltered.

Behavior

The WRAPCOLS function wraps columns in a specified range. Its primary use is to make data more readable and organized in a spreadsheet.

Empty Cells: If the cells in the range are empty, WRAPCOLS will not have any visible effect.
Text: WRAPCOLS wraps text columns, allowing them to appear in multiple lines within a cell, which can improve readability.
Booleans: The function can wrap columns containing boolean values, but the effect isn't very noticeable unless the cell also contains text.
Errors: If there are any errors in the range of cells, those cells will be ignored by the WRAPCOLS function and won't be wrapped.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#REF!	This error occurs if the specified range is invalid or does not exist.
#VALUE!	This error occurs if the specified range contains non-numeric or non-string values.

Best Practices

Always specify a valid range for the WRAPCOLS function. An invalid range will result in a #REF! error.

Use WRAPCOLS to improve readability of data, especially when dealing with long strings of text in a cell.

Be aware that WRAPCOLS will not wrap cells with errors. Fix any errors in your range before applying the function.

WRAPCOLS does not trim spaces. If you want to remove extra spaces before or after your text, use the TRIM function first.

Usage

A few examples using the WRAPCOLS function.

WRAPCOLS([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 2) returns [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]  
WRAPCOLS(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'], 3, 'X') returns [['A', 'B', 'C'], ['D', 'X', 'X']]  
WRAPCOLS([4, 5, 6, 7, 8], 4) returns [[4, 5, 6, 7], [8]]
